Fundamentals of biological chemistry, including the structure of biological macromolecules and their mechanism of action, intermediary metabolism, and the chemical basis of information transfer. Course can be taken concurrently with CHEM 242 or CHEM 243.

This course will explain in non-mathematical terms how essentially all biological properties are determined by the microscopic chemical properties of proteins. It will also explain how research results, especially those of structural biology, are presented to its various audiences.

Fundamental course in organic chemistry based upon the modern concepts of structure and mechanism of reactions.

A general laboratory course covering aspects of qualitative and quantitative analysis, determination of chemical and physical properties, and chemical synthesis. Lab fee $150.

This course is equivalent to Chemistry 101 but is intended for students with less preparation in high school chemistry and mathematics, and moves more methodically through the introductory chapters. The course covers most of the same topics as Chem101 and is designed to provide students with the skills needed to succeed in Chem102. In Chem100 there is a strong emphasis on problem-solving that is fundamental to all physical science. The course will take an 'atoms first' approach to introductory chemistry. Topics will include: an overview of quantum theory - focusing on its role in understanding atomic structure, the periodic table, and chemical bonding. Introduction to fundamental chemical ideas and their application to chemical reactions, stoichiometry, ideal gases, and intermolecular interactions, using the principles of chemical structure as a foundation, will be discussed. Topics from mathematics and physics that are necessary to chemical problem-solving will be included as needed. Prerequisite: Students with credit for CHEM 101 may not enroll in CHEM 100. Credit will not be awarded for both CHEM 100 and 101.
